Keep It in the Family

Episode 2: One of Those Days

January 14, 1980 • 30 min

The girls move into their flat, and Dudley helps them get an old black and white television set down from the loft, picking up a glove puppet and a guitar in the process; the latter reminds him of his youth, when he played skiffle, and he attempts to rope Jacqui and Susan into a group. Meanwhile, Dudley's Welsh editor, Duncan Thomas, arrives at the house to find out why he is a fortnight behind with his artwork for Barney the Bionic Bulldog, and gets soaked during an attempt by the Rushes' to clear a supposed airlock in the cold water pipe. He blows his top and fires Dudley.
